I am on Cox Cable internet and I am getting fed up with the shit that is going on. Can someone please explain to me what is going on? About half of the websites that I visit, even common ones like google sometimes say "Looking up www.google.com." It then proceeds to go to the server is not responding page, and I click "Try Again" and it works immediately. It happens to even in the middle of loading a website.

Let's say I try and load IGN.com, it will find the server, connect and load about half way through, then get stuck on something stupid like an ad, or something called snowball. It will then proceed to only display what was downloaded before it tried loading the ad. Which in turns looks just like a garbage looking IGN website. But once again when I simply reload the page, it will load up no problem, but then when I click on the Xbox360 section, it will get stuck again, and so on.

Does anyone know what is going on? I know it has to be the ISP because someone a couple houses down from me has an unsecured Qwest connection and I don't have the same problems.

    truth be told, i agree with psi, i dislike both candidates, but i'd probably vote trump simply because the economy was better during his presidency

    Just be careful, if trump ends up winning and using project 2025 America might really change...for the worse.
